BASF LOOKS AT TIMING FOR CHINA MDI PLANT

摘要

Ludwigshafen, Germany - BASF SE may re-assess the timing of its planned 400-kiio-tonnes-per-annumunit to make MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) in Chongqing in the west of China.BASF originally aimed to complete the plant in 2010, but the supplier of PU raw materials now expects the global MDI market to decline in 2009, with "China being no exception," a spokesperson said. "This new situation needs to be reflected in the planning process for our MDI project in Chongqing."
